Goku awoke to the sound of birds calling outside while the early rays of sunlight passed through the small openings on the curtains. They illuminated the walls of the room a warm orange. Stifling a yawn, he prepared to stretch before realising that he could not move his arms. "what the…" he pondered, both curious and perplexed at why he could not move his arms to stretch.
It was only then he realised his chest felt heavier than usual, even with his heightened undershirt on. Craning his neck to look down he has met with the visage of purple fluff lying on his chest. Shaking his body caused sounds to come from it before it moved, the purple hair tickling his chin.
His curiosity peaked, Goku applied more strength into his attempt to remove his limbs from the grasp of the odd ball of purple hair only for it to rise to reveal a dark-skinned female beneath the hair. Goku had an eyebrow raised in confusion, the female squinting as she yawned. Once finished her eyes met Goku's, his puzzled expression enough to elicit an amused chuckle from her.
"Good morning." She greeted, peeling herself from the Saiyan shaped body pillow she had employed for the night, her naked assets out in full view. She was sat atop Goku, her legs on either side of his body as she straddled his abdomen.
"Uh, who are you?" questioned Goku, ignoring the females state of undress. Where she had come from was also a mystery, considering he remembered going to bed alone. Maybe she had mistaken his bed for her own during the night, his son Goten tended to do that at times.
"Really? That's how you react to a naked beautiful girl sitting on top of you." She responded, leaning forwards to place the palms of her hands flat on the Saiyans upper chest. While there had been man before who had overreacted and told her to dress herself, this was the first time one just completely ignored it.
"Well it's not the first time something like this has happened." Replied Goku with a chuckle, remembering the times Chi-Chi would do something similar at night. "Besides being naked is natural isn't it. It's how we are born so I don't see the big deal with it." He continued thinking back to all the times he had been in nothing but his birthday suit.
"Finally! Someone who gets it." Exclaimed the female, smiling broadly while her golden eyes twinkling in tandem.
"-although I still need to know who you are exactly." Cut in Goku, trying to get some answers.
"Well, take a guess." Responded the female, her tone playful while she smirked with mischievous intent.
"Uhh…" trailed Goku, unsure of how to answer. He could not remember if he had met her before then again, he was good at remembering people so that was not it. With a dejected sigh he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know."
The female laughed lightly. "That's to be expected I suppose. Although before I tell you who I am I want to ask you something. Are you interested in learning how to harness spiritual power?"
"I can actually learn how to use that?" exclaimed Goku as he shot up into a sitting position. The action was so sudden Yoruichi had no chance to react as Goku's face came into proximity with her own. His breath tickled her lips, while his undershirt rubbed against her exposed nipples with every breath he took.
"Uh… y-yeah." She stuttered, fighting the impeding blush to gain her composure once more. She leaned back a bit, getting some breathing room. Her heart hammered in her chest, but she paid it no mind. "There is a way yes."
"Count me in then! I've been wanting to learn how to access it since you were all talking about it last night which got me curious. I also feel that by learning how to harness this power there will be a lot more to this world I can learn about."
Yoruichi smiled, impressed not only by Goku`s resolve but his eagerness to learn. It reminded her a certain Captain who had been eager to do the same once upon a time. "Precisely Goku. Like your world, no your universe I suppose, yeah like your universe before there is more to it than what meets the eye. The key in this case in harnessing your Reiatsu, however once we start there's no more going back, do you understand?"
"I understand." To Goku this was like how it had been back in his own universe. The stronger he got, the more he had subsequently learnt about the universe and its secrets. Gods of Destruction and multiverses that held their own secrets had been available to him after attaining the strength to match divine beings such as Beerus in combat, even if it was only temporary.
Rising from her perch on the Saiyans abdomen, Yoruichi stretched her limbs as far as possible while yawning, her purple locks falling to hide her feminine features on her chest. "You know you make a surprisingly great pillow, you're so warm."
"Uh, thanks haha." responded Goku, laughing lightly while unsure of what to say to the compliment. It wasn't the first time he had received such a compliment and he certainly doubted it will be the last.
The dark-skinned female turned to leave, only to pause and look over her shoulder. "Come to the training room downstairs when you're ready." With that she faced forward once more, before leaving Goku alone to wonder who she was exactly.
xXx
Goku found himself within the barren room underneath the floor to Urohara's shop. He was now certain it was like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from his own world considering the lack of any visible time dilation in the room. The same amount of sunlight from the night previous was still visible.
As he continued to look around the barren landscape his eyes fell on the strange female from earlier. She was standing on a giant boulder, staring in the direction of the entrance to the training room. One major difference was that she was now fully dressed in a black undershirt, with an overshirt of orange colouration with two white stripes over the shoulders covering her arms. A large sash secured her black pants around her waist, while a pair of light brown shoes covered her feet. Her purple locks had been pulled into a neat ponytail with a few loose strands framing her face.
On his way towards her Goku noted a sword she held in her hand, like the one Shu, Emperor Pilaf's canine underling had deployed on their various misadventures from when he was younger. The Saiyan smiled wistfully at the memories, back when everything seemed so simple. Beat up some bad guys and collect the Dragon Balls while training for the Tenkaichi Budokai. "What's with the uhh…" questioned the alien, pointing to the katana the female held.
A smile graced the females features thanks to the approaching male. "To answer your question, this…" she motioned to the katana by raising it to eye level, the cutting-edge horizontal with her eyes. "This is what I need to unlock your Spiritual Power." She added.
"How exactly are you going to do that?" Goku kept his distance from the Katana wielding female before him. While he couldn't sense any killing intent from her, it was better to be safe than sorry, after all he had a nasty habit of letting his guard down far too easily according to his mentor Whis.
Yoruichi's smile morphed into a smirk as she hopped off the large boulder to land lightly on her feet. She approached Goku but paused when she noted his body language change to become cautious. While she held no ill intent towards him, she could not blame him for becoming cautious.
"I have to stab you with this while channelling my own Reiatsu into your body. This in theory should boost your quite frankly none-existent Reiatsu and allow you to use it to a certain degree. This is only temporary however, it should give you a taster. The more advanced technique while permanent is far riskier and you'd need Urahara for that."
Goku's features hardened as he mulled over the information he had just received. While his interest was piqued with the knowledge of the riskier but more rewarding technique to wielding this Reiatsu as they called it, he knew it was far better to start of small before jumping into the deep end.
"That's fine, let us do it."
No sooner had the words left his lips, Yoruichi used her flash step, closing the distance between her and Goku in an instant. Sensing the sudden rise in killing intent, Goku tried to take a step back, to create some distance however he failed to gauge the true reach of the Katana. "Tch!" he cried out as the gleaming blade effortlessly cut through his weighted undershirt and straight into his chest, piercing his heart in one fell swoop. In retaliation his right hand reached out towards his opponents' abdomen, glowing fiercely as he charged energy within it.
The attack in his hand suddenly died down, the foreign energy mingling with his own. It tainted his reserves, forcing them to undergo a forced evolution of sorts. "Gyahh!" a violent expulsion of energy from the Saiyan kicked up a large dust cloud, while all that was caught in the explosion was tossed aside like a feather in the wind. This included Yoruichi who was unceremoniously tossed like a ragdoll along the dirt, only coming to a stop thanks to her katana finding purchase within the ground. She kept her well trained eyes on the dust cloud for any sudden movement only to freeze when her Reiatsu senses were suddenly overloaded by a large and sharp increase.
The hairs on the back of her neck rose, before out of pure muscle memory her hand shot up. She felt a strike powerful enough to numb her hand impact the Katana she held. The ground beneath her feet caved as more force was applied, causing web like cracks to taint the surface around her. In addition, the immense Reiatsu she had sensed earlier was now bearing down on her, causing her focus to fail. The grip on her weapon loosened, a foot swung upwards striking the flat side of the blade. With no weapon to guard herself with she covered her face with her hands, awaiting the ensuing pain that never arrived.
"I must say Son, your form is certainly impressive." Clapping accompanied the sentence.
Yoruichi lowered her hands to see Urahara making his way towards where they stood or kneeled in her case. Averting her gaze from her friend she looked up to see the Saiyan dressed in the Shinigami attire, the tip of his Katana on the point of her nose. His hair swayed in the dying wind from his recent energy expulsion.
Goku lowered his weapon as he looked over his shoulder, throwing a hand up in greeting towards his new friend. "Hey Urahara."
Said male felt his strength falter the closer he got to the duo. Noting the cobweb of cracks that decorated the floor beneath the Saiyans feet and a crater not too far from where he stood, he whistled in amazement. 'Such a strong Reiatsu, and he is more than likely not even aware of it.'
The saiyan took a step back from the kneeling form of the female, allowing her to slowly try and get back to her feet. Goku, ever the caring soul reached out to try and steady her, but an outstretched hand stopped his advance. With visible effort Yoruichi staggered to her feet, legs wide apart to try and steady herself.
"Urahara… we might have a problem."

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Suì-Fēng leaned against the drab wall of the hallway, her eyes closed as she awaited audience with the Captain-Commander Yamamoto. A few hours had gone by since she had left the enigma that was Goku within the care of Urahara for the night. Knowing the eccentric genius she was sure he had some scheme up his sleeve to learn more about ki, God help them all.
Scrunching her face in frustration, she attempted to drown out the sound of her lieutenant pacing nervously back and forth along the hallway. While she understood why he was nervous, since it wasn't everyday a lieutenant and their superior had business with the Commander of the Gotei-13, his nervous pacing was grating on her last nerve.
"Will you stop that!" she hissed, attempting to keep her voice from reaching the ears of her superior.
"S-sorry." Her lieutenant mumbled in response. He moved to stand beside his Captain, his large frame towering over her petite frame, however the stress of the situation was still overwhelming causing him to start fiddling with his fingers.
Sighing in relief Suì-Fēng closed her eyes once more, still content to play the waiting game. Truth be told she was tired, not having received the best night's sleep thanks to the escapades of her and her new friend. Well it was a bit of a stretch to call him such, considering she barely knew much about him aside from the fact he was not from this world. It was hard to believe but he had provided ample evidence. That Super Saiyan God form of his bringing back memories from the night previous.
"So why are you here anyways?"
Suì-Fēng peeled her eyes open once more, gazing at the drab wall in front of her. "I am here to…" she then paused. She had been close to revealing information that no one aside from her commander was ready to hear. It would take some time before that reality would come to fruition. Clearing her throat she continued where she had left off "Sorry about that. As I was saying I am here to report an appearance of Menos Grande class Hollows in the human world."
"Whoa, that's not something you hear about often. What happened to them?" her lieutenant had stopped fiddling his fingers to focus wholly on this tasty morsel of information he was receiving. "Did you defeat them?"
Sucking in air through clenched teeth, Suì-Fēng puzzled her subordinate. "I was about to, it would have been difficult with the limiter that gets automatically placed on me each time I visit the land of the living but someone else had done it before I could, and before you ask no I didn't see who it was."
Her subordinate who had his mouth opened to ask exactly that paused before closing his gaping maw once more. It was a sobering thought that there was someone, something even that was stronger than his Captain, even with her power limited. "Do you think it was a Quincy?"
"I don't think so." Was all she said, while fully knowing the truth that Goku was far from being a Quincy, even if his choice to deal with the Hollows wasn't too far from how the Quincy dealt with the damn things.
The door to the Commanders office slowly opened to reveal an elderly man sitting on a tatami mat, facing away from the door. The early afternoon sun bathed the room with its light and heat.
"You may enter."
Suì-Fēng pushed herself from the wall, leaving her subordinate in the hallway as she made her way towards the entrance. Stopping momentarily she peeked over her shoulder before entering the vast room, the large doors sliding shut in her wake.
"Good afternoon Captain-Commander Yamamoto." The captain of the second division got down on one knee, head low to the floor in a sign of respect to her superior. "I have come to report an appearance of Menos Grande in the realm of the living. There was also a…" she paused, could she call Goku a human If he clearly wasn't? then again it was more than likely easier than explaining the whole back story for now. "…a human wielding ki."
"Hmm, and why is that important?" Yamamoto kept his back turned away from his subordinate.
"Well you see, using that ki of his he managed to defeat all Menos Grande present."
Silence fell upon the room like a blanket with neither Captain making any attempts to progress the conversation.
"Where is this human then?"
"It was reported that he was left in the care of Urahara. I believe it would be beneficial to bring him for study into how powerful this ki truly is." Suì-Fēng refrained from mentioning his lack of Reiatsu. With her report finished she prepared to excuse herself.
"Did any of your subordinates in the realm of the living hear anything about Rukia Kuchiki? Her Captain has reported her missing this morning." Added Yamamoto, his deep voice level, betraying no emotion.
"I received no such report. I will double check with them when I get back." Suì-Fēng remembered the sudden spike in Reiatsu from the night previous, and then for Rukia to be reported missing was too much of a coincidence. She knew she had to look further into the issue, jumping to conclusions wasn't her style after all.
"Understood. You are dismissed."
Standing up to her full height once more, she bowed before turning around to leave the room. Her superior remained basking in the sun, as thoughts of how things had suddenly became odd to be frank with Goku's arrival. She knew she had to return and see him once more, she was curious if anything to learn more about his world before he was subjected to the lab if the order ever came through.

A double story update within a day of each other? Madness, I know, but it's Christmas, and nearly the end of this God-awful year. Best to send it off with something good.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
